A Soldiers Mind

I've slept and woke through trials and hardships,
given my pain, do I deserve to sleep?
The rot of my mind smells of crushed parsnips,
Pungent but pleasant, to me it's a feast.

Rally in despair, a Spartan prepared,
given nothing but a mind full of hope.
I've taken my fear, gone! Poof! In thin air,
And walked through the valley's filled with red dope.

Through the eye's of a Soldier, bui...

The Duality Of Your Day

A light dusting finds the meaning; two souls crash into me,
One intervenes, and one starts leaving.
Two holes, twofold, the blackest of the evenings.
I unscrew the cap loose, a bruise invokes the screaming.
I refuse to be the noose that ends all the seasonings.
What can make you better can also make you dreamy.
I tighten up my tie and proceed into work...

Alcoholic

I wanna talk about what kids go through

Broken door frames, busted light shades and spider cracks in the windows

Winters here, unfortunately

It’s that time of the year, how some people truly do love it.

The cold brings the night early, brisk wind and mild flurries

Grab the old winter jacket, red beanie and gloves with a snug fit

The winters here unfortunately, they’re calling for snow in the mornin

The salt crunches under you as you spread it, one cold gust makes you hurry

It’s that time of the year, how some people trul...
